Style=Freedom

One of things that I appreciate most about the women I photograph is the freedom in which they express themselves. For the Advanced Style ladies dressing is a means of personal expression. They longer have to to impress others and feel free to dress as they please.

I love the concept of your blog and book. It appears that the majority of the women you took photos of, who all are well dressed and groomed, is because they all have MONEY. If you have MONEY, you can afford to still dress fashionably, hair, nails, and face all look great. However, these women are not the "normal" in this age group.

one thing I can see after following the blog: There is no fixed "style" for elder, like all the kids do. To be hip, follow the latest fashion… how lame and uninspirational is that? To express your OWN style is the true meaning of fashion freedom, and this is what I adore so much in all your pictures.

I'm in love with this outfit, and adore this woman's style. I don't have that at 47 yrs. old, but I try. She inspires me. I love your blog,…and rush to it daily and have to just give you a big "Thank You" for the inspiration and ideas.
